ten billion butterfly sneezes

The Channel/Driver/Car grid for tonight’s running of the Sharp AQUOS 500¹ shakes out like this:

795 - Tony Stewart, #20
796 - Clint Bowyer, #07
797 - Jeff Gordon, #24
798 - Juan Pablo Montoya, #42
799 - Dale Earnhardt JR, #8

I must head off to my fantasy racing site, hopefully to improve my team. Kurt Busch is peaking at the right time, and he’s on the pole; if the price is right, he’ll be on my team this week.

In the meantime, the race doesn’t start until 8PM EDT, the better for NASCAR to vie for prime-time ratings points. The business of NASCAR is business, after all. And there’s NHRA qualifying for the Mac Tools U.S. Nationals right now, on ESPN2. With six big hours of finals to be telecast tomorrow.

Good stuff.
